Just Saying

I chose a couple different shades of blue card stock for this card that also showcases some of the In Good Taste designer series paper.  The card base is Misty Moonlight and the next layer is Night of Navy as is the ink color.

The 1/4" In Color ribbon is really nice to work with and I have used a piece of the Misty Moonlight behind the sentiment which comes from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

Supplies:

Tasteful Touches

Misty Moonlight ink

Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Kraft card stock

I have been working on some more graduation cards as I try to get my mind wrapped around our first child graduation this spring which has not been an easy task!

I paired up some dies and an embossing folder on this one - Stitched Labels and Stitched So Sweetly dies along with the Coastal Weave folder.  The stamp set is Witty-Cisms and I colored in the cap with Stampin' Blends markers.  There are some self adhesive sequins added for a little more color.

For the Win

Having a couple of teenage boys that LOVE baseball, the For the Win stamp set was a great one for me to have on hand for projects.  This card is similar to one I gave one of them a couple months ago...

January Stamp Club

This month for stamp club, we used quite a few items that are in the catalog and idea book, but we did try out the new stamp set from the mini catalog called Grace's Garden for one of our cards.

The layout uses the Magnolia Lane designer series paper which you can also purchase in bulk which is a nice option.  There are coordinating colors used for the background pages and the photo mats along with a die cut piece made with the Stitched Labels framelits.

This card has a background that was embossed with the Country Floral dynamic folder which was a free item during last year's Sale-a-bration that carried over into the Idea book and catalog.  The stamp set used was from the new mini catalog and is called Grace's Garden.

Finally, we use the Birch background stamp and Let it Ride for this card showcasing the horse image by using two layers of ovals cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits.

We always welcome new members into our monthly club or virtual club.  Contact me for more details!
